South Korean music producer GILLA established quietformat as an independent audio development company specializing in expressive sound design applications. The startup released Meltone as its debut product, merging classic analog instrument characteristics with MIDI Polyphonic Expression capabilities. The software utilizes GILLA ARP, a generative sound engine employing harmonic particle layering technology. This system creates evolving textures through real-time chord input analysis rather than predetermined pattern loops. Musicians can generate ambient soundscapes, expressive leads, and dynamic pad sounds through organic texture development.
Meltone features dual oscillators offering sine, triangle, sawtooth, square, and noise waveforms alongside comprehensive modulation controls. Two LFOs provide wave shape selection with Speed, Smoothing, and Delay adjustments for dynamic sound manipulation. An analog-modeled resonant filter responds to velocity input while supporting LFO modulation and key tracking functionality. The Pitch module enables modulation through pitch wheels, key tracking, or internal LFO and envelope sources. Dedicated ADSR envelopes control Amp, Filter, and Pitch parameters for precise sound shaping.
The instrument supports Windows 10 systems and macOS 10.13 versions with VST3 and AU plugin formats, plus standalone operation. Quietformat prices Meltone at $119 for immediate purchase and download.
